It's my job to set adventurers on fire. It's my responsibility to make sure adventurers don't get into the next dungeon level.
I think it wouldn't be your responsibility, once they're on fire?
Like your job really ends when combustion begins, you dont have jurisdiction to release the boulders, let alone direct the area boss
But if they take the treasure then there won't be any more adventurers wandering in for me to set fire to.
Right, but that's a systems problem. Your organization failing to procure combustibles is a matter of logistical inefficiency.
But the lich is using the logistics people as a screaming bone gate.
Then I suggest you refer the matter to Pazuzu, Dark Angel of The Four Winds and Prince of the Lower Aerial Kingdoms. Ultimately your org is part of his portfolio.

"Conclusions. To address race disparities in diabetes, policymakers should address problems created by concentrated poverty (e.g., lack of access to reasonably priced fruits and vegetables, recreational facilities, and health care services; high crime rates; and greater exposures to environmental toxins). Housing and development policies in urban areas should avoid creating high-poverty neighborhoods."
I knew there was something we forgot! It was to not do that.
2) tbf to the authors, I am kind of doing the (terrible) twitter thing where they pick out, like, a sentence of a press release, and go "scientists just discovered that ghettos are bad?? lol."
But this actual study I'm quoting is good--they use a bunch of data to quantitatively measure how incidence of diabetes varies with race, place, and income. This is super useful knowledge for policy purposes, and the specific findings weren't a foregone conclusion or anything (not least because the specific findings are, well, quantitative--not just that high poverty neighborhoods are bad, but how bad).
It's just that it's funny when they get to the conclusions at the end and they're like, "we conclude that people should... maybe not do that?? idk I'm a scientist."

My favorite Urban Fantasy book of the last two years was a book called Hazzard, about a world where we've learned through frakking that magic exists, and so do lycanthropes (and other -thropes) and that's it! that's the hard stop. Magic and animal people.
So the entire book is about a kid who got drafted to the Colorado Avalanche and it turns out he's got the ability to use magic and enhanced people can't play sports unless it's in a show league so it's about him trying to make hockey work as a wizard.
Jesus it was low stakes and perfect.

A lot of people are still, even today, really dumb about password security and just have “password” as their password. Morons.
What you should do is: change the “o” to an “0” so it’s ”passw0rd”. Pretty clever, huh? Just a little insider security knowledge, no need to thank me.
the worst is security departments that will not allow you to use a 25 character passphrase but insist on 10+ characters with all 4 different kinds of characters and change it constantly
every fuckin salesperson in my compnay writes their password on a postit note

Roger Ebert wrote a review for the game Cosmology of Kyoto, and it makes sense he would like something going for a feeling that wasn't a bad attempt at a movie or "the Citizen Kane of games."
"Cosmology of Kyoto" for Mac US$98 Azuma Lander International: +1 (415) 928 7914, fax +1 (415) 362 6879.
"The Cosmology of Kyoto" CD-ROM comes with a bare minimum of instructions, informing me in a few words how to move within the images. No goal is established and no points are scored; the game never informs me what the object is, although it discreetly tracks the levels of karma and cash I have attained and keeps an inventory of my possessions. The disc comes packaged with a large fold-out map showing the streets and principal buildings of Kyoto - circa 900, when, as Heiankyo, it was the capital of Japan. I begin to wander the streets.
The richness is almost overwhelming; there is the sense that the resources of this game are limitless and that no two players would have the same experience. I have been exploring the ancient city in spare moments for two weeks now, and doubt that I have even begun to scratch the surface. This is the most beguiling computer game I have encountered, a seamless blend of information, adventure, humor, and imagination - the gruesome side-by-side with the divine.
In this medieval Kyoto, people exist alongside ghosts, demons, and goblins. On my travels I have met - and interacted with - a dog eating entrails, long-winded old farts, tradespeople (who offered me medicines, dried fish, cloth, rice cakes, amulets, and a chance to lose money on a cock fight), a monk leading a prayer meeting, kids playing ball in the streets (one is beheaded by a passerby), a friendly guide dog, a maiden with an obscenely phallic tongue, and a gambler who taught me a dice game.
The graphics are hauntingly effective, using a wide-screen landscape format. The individual characters are drawn with vivid facial characteristics, a cross between the cartoons of medieval Japanese art and the exaggerations of modern Japanimation. The speaking voices are filled with personality, often taunting, teasing, or sexy. There is the sense, illusory but seductive, that one could wander this world indefinitely. This is a wonderful game. -- Roger Ebert

I read something recently that had human-shaped piles of worms that ended up with magical super powers.
They were very polite and eloquent and also left a trail of worms where they walked.
Then I suggest you refer the matter to Pazuzu, Dark Angel of The Four Winds and Prince of the Lower Aerial Kingdoms. Ultimately your org is part of his portfolio.
I started reading some urban fantasy series called the Innkeeper Chronicles that got similarly silly.
This is so much grosser than crabs
That was definitely in a d&d supplement I owned too
1) That's great
2) tbf to the authors, I am kind of doing the (terrible) twitter thing where they pick out, like, a sentence of a press release, and go "scientists just discovered that ghettos are bad?? lol."

That man sure can lobst.
Don't just low key drop Shocker like it wasn't Peter Berg's start and also a great Wes Craven precursor to Scream
spot on, imo
Wasn't there an X-Files episode along those lines?
This Farscape crossover isn't working out how I thought it would.
but they're listening to every word I say
I dunno why but the whole "choosing a mod" thing here has always been kind of mysterious and neat to me.

You can't trust a man who doesn't have distinct anal gland scent, that's what my mom always taught me.
Also he uses the word Japanimation
